In this misty cave sky, there are strange lanterns floating.

"These lanterns are hung with thin wires, right?" Song Gang stretched out his hand as he spoke, and gently touched the lantern.

"Don't!" It's too late for me to want birth blocking.

I remember that when I was in the Dragon Tomb, a strong man moved a chess piece because he didn't listen to Xing Lao's words, and as a result, he pulled the mechanism. The star compass on the sea eye was activated, and the star-studded formation almost wiped out everyone, and the strong man also died from his own unintentional actions.

Song Gang heard my cry and quickly retracted his hand, and the lantern that it touched slowly floated away and disappeared into the fog.

"What's going on?" Song Gang hurriedly asked me what was going on.

So I told me what happened in the Dragon Tomb back then, and Shi Xiaoxue listened to my words: "Our ancestors were tomb robbers, and my grandfather once told me a lot about tomb robbing, and he said that the things in the tomb can't be moved even by a single hair." If you're not careful, you'll trigger a terrible trap, and that little lantern flew away just now, maybe it's already triggered the big array here. ”

Song Gang blushed a little and said embarrassedly: "You didn't say it earlier......"

"None of us know the art of tomb robbing, and we don't know anything about the design of the mausoleum, so let's just pay extra attention to it, if the area is so large that we can't get out in a day, we are likely to run into floating lanterns. And the fog here is so big, you can run into it if you're not careful. As I spoke, I opened my palm, and a huge stream of clear air spread around me, and the mist dissipated, revealing the ground.

But it only lasted for three or five seconds, and the dense fog that had just been dispelled by the clear air gathered again.

"What the hell is this lantern made of, it can float in the air." An Xiaowu curiously stretched out his hand and circled around the small lantern. "And most importantly, what lanterns can float and how long have they been lit?"

An Xiaowu's words suddenly gave me a wake-up call, this is the entrance of an underground palace, according to the murals around the Pantian Pillar, this palace was built at least 300 years ago, what lantern can float for so long?

Is it a permanent lamp?

I remember when I used to learn the Tao in the mountains. I once read a record of the ever-bright lantern in a Taoist classic, there are many ways to make this ever-bright lantern, and the Taoist ever-bright lantern is usually based on the Taoist spirit of the Taoist real person as the wick. In Taoism, the Taoist priest who can be called a real person is either the founder of a certain school of Taoism, or the master of Taoist legend who is almost immortal and invincible. How long the wick of the ever-bright lamp can burn depends on the strength of the qi of the owner of that qi, the stronger the Taoist priest. The longer the lantern exists.

I once heard the master say it. If his natal qi is made into a long lamp, it can be guaranteed to be extinguished for 300 years. But when he traveled the world, he once found an ever-bright lamp in an ancient cave, and the ever-bright lamp was engraved with the ancient seal of the pre-Qin period.

With the exception of the Taoist Lantern, the rest of the lanterns made by the Scholars were made of a special type of burning stone, and the tray of the wick was filled with oil, and the wick could burn for at least five years.

And what ordinary people need to make Changming lanterns is mutton fat, and the saying about Changming lanterns is just a kind of sustenance, and most people will never see it in their lives.

As for the ever-bright lamp in the ancient tomb, it is usually a kind of grease, but the top of the wick is coated with white phosphorus, and when the tomb is closed, the ever-bright lamp is not lit, only when the tomb robbers open the tomb, the air enters the tomb, and the white phosphorus burns, and the ever-bright lamp will naturally turn on.

There is also the ever-bright lamp of the Buddhist family, in addition to the ever-bright lamp made of Su oil to express piety and prayer, a heart lamp illuminates the eternal and immortal saying of the eight thousand worlds, which is too mysterious.

When the master told me about the production of the Changming lantern of the Yin and Yang School, he mentioned a saying about refining corpses to extract oil, mixing human oil with special fuel, which can burn for hundreds of years in the ancient cave of the Yin Cave that is breathable.

Therefore, there is no eternal lantern in the real sense, unless it is to put a priceless night pearl in the lantern, and the current scientific theory can also prove that the legend of the eternal lantern does not conform to the law of conservation of energy.

So, what exactly is the lantern floating in front of our eyes made of?

I cautiously stepped onto the mist-covered ground, while Shi Xiaoxue followed me along the mist, followed by Ji Zizheng, An Xiaowu, and Song Gang.

At first, the lanterns we encountered were only the size of apples, and the largest was only the size of a palm, but the further we went, the bigger the lanterns became, until we saw the huge lantern floating in front of our eyes. The shadow inside the lantern was blurred, and it looked like it was holding a person, and we were all silent to each other, for fear that our companions would be afraid, so we didn't say it, but this time, the lantern was too close to us, and we saw a person inside the lantern.

When I first entered the fog cave, I noticed that in these lanterns, there was a small thing in each of them, and the lantern skin was made of unknown materials, and we couldn't see what was inside the lantern, I thought, I was not the only one who wanted to know what was hidden in the lantern, but we knew that curiosity kills cats, and in such a strange scene, no one would kill everyone to satisfy their curiosity, so no one proposed to look at what was in the lantern.

But when the huge lantern floated past our eyes, we saw the figure inside the lantern, and his face was hideous, and he could not see either man or woman, his mouth was wide open, and his hands were on the skin of the lantern, as if he wanted to come out of the lantern.

What's even more bizarre is that when this lantern floats in front of us, we see the other side of the lantern, the lantern skin is connected to the back of the figure inside the lantern, as if he has peeled off his skin and wrapped it into a human skin lantern.

We were all so frightened that we didn't dare to make a sound, and we didn't dare to touch the lanterns on the road.

Suddenly, An Xiaowu didn't know what he had stepped on, he was so frightened that he screamed, kicked randomly, and he kicked out a white Sensen's hand bone in the fog under his feet.

And the bones of the hand touched a lantern, and the lantern suddenly broke, and out of the lantern flew a butterfly, a colorful butterfly.

The butterfly flew out of the lantern and flapped its wings towards us, its eyes were rotten, but it seemed to be staring at us, and a layer of colored dust fell to the ground between the fluttering of its wings, which looked extremely beautiful.

"This is a ghost butterfly, my grandfather said about this thing, it is highly poisonous, and there is no cure if it touches it." Shi Xiaoxue said with fear in her eyes.

"Hurry up, the more colorful the butterfly is, the more poisonous it is, its eyes are rotten and it can still fly, even if it is not a ghost butterfly, it is definitely not a good thing."

We dodged these floating lanterns and hurried forward, but suddenly, Song Gang, who was walking at the rear, tripped over something in the mist, and the ghost butterfly flapped its wings a few times and flew in front of him, and I was just about to kill the ghost butterfly.

But at this moment, the huge lantern floated in front of us again, and with a snap, the lantern burst through a hole, and out of the lantern skin came a gray, rotten tongue, and the ghost butterfly was wrapped in a long tongue and ate into the lantern.

The figure in the lantern suddenly struggled, and a bloody human head emerged from the lantern.

The human head and Song Gang who was squatting on the ground glanced at each other, and Song Gang screamed in fright and retreated sharply.

The man in the lantern had no face, his face was covered in blood, his lips were gone, and all that could be seen was his round eyes and rotten teeth. His hands stretched out from the lantern in a frenzy, and his feet stepped on the ground, tearing off the skin of the lantern that had wrapped around him.

Then we saw that he was a bloody, skinless man, with a bloody hole in his head, and a wick came out of the bloody hole, which burned the top of his head black, and his body exuded a rancid smell, and the lantern skin was actually connected to his back, and we knew that these lanterns were really made of human skin.

These people were skinned alive and then refined into human skin lanterns by special means, and the fuel of the lanterns was themselves.

In Taoist secret arts, the method of refining the corpse of a living person is extremely cruel, which is to disembowel a person before he dies, and then put a paper figure in the person's body, and then seal the person's soul in the paper figure with secret techniques, so that the corpse will directly become a corpse, and will be tormented by pain and fear forever.

The living corpse roared and rushed towards us, but when he saw the surging Dao qi on me, he trembled and fell to his knees, and kept kowtowing to me, and his mouth let out a whining cry.

Song Gang pointed the gun at the head of the living corpse, I stopped him, and a fire appeared in the palm of his hand, slowly floating in front of the living corpse.

The living corpse took the Dao Fire and looked at me, nodded his head in thanks, and then he swallowed my Dao Fire, and the paper figure in his belly burned, his face showed a look of relief, and his body burned to ashes in the raging fire. Bean Paw Sba.

Poo, poo, poo......

The sound of a human skin lantern bursting, and then the floating little human skin lantern also broke, as the lantern broke, the fog dissipated, the whole cave became clear and vast, countless corpse insects crawled all over the ground, and the air was also full of all kinds of corpse insects.

And in front of us, kneeling hundreds of living corpses, their mouths whirring, their bodies drenched in blood, and their backs were glued together with human skins, all of them kowtowing to me, stretching out their hands, and praying for my Dao fire.
